Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3831 The purpose behind
The purpose behind the first thousand 870 chapters

The three Du brothers came to the opposite bank by ferry, and were immediately shocked by the tragic scene.These three people are all descendants of aristocratic families. Except for Du Congze, who had a military career, the other two were well-clothed and pampered since childhood. All the battles on the battlefield came from hearsay. It's just for show, I didn't intend to really start a war...

Du He was dumbfounded, and Du Huaigong fought back: "Fortunately, I didn't accompany Li Jidong on the expedition..."

The cruelty on the battlefield had a great impact on these two children of the aristocratic family. Even though the servants in the family were like dogs, they never thought of such a scene where corpses were strewn all over the field and blood flowed like a slaughterhouse.

Du Cong followed behind, and suddenly said: "Perhaps your wife has no personal relationship with Fang Jun, Huai Gong, you should be thankful for that."

Du Huaigong was about to get angry, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it made sense.

If the cavalry that almost instantly destroyed Webster's [-] private army was under Fang Jun's command, I am afraid that the target chosen would not be Webster's private army, but Du's private army. All the cruelty will be borne by Du's private army, and he, Du Huaigong, will be attacked and killed more heavily.

Swallowing hard, Du Huaigong kept his mouth shut: "Perhaps this is neither Li Ji's subordinate nor Fang Jun's army?"

Du He was speechless.

Are you convinced that both Li Ji and Fang Jun are eager to kill you and then hurry up?I don't know if this is the ultimate low self-esteem, or a vain face. Those two are worried about family affairs and the inheritance of the empire. Who the hell cares about your mere Du Huaigong...

*****
The sound of "bang bang bang" knocked on the door sounded in the silent Yanshoufang. Changsun Wuji, who had finally fallen asleep, was awakened in an instant, his heart was beating wildly for a while, and the old servant came in with warm water for him to drink It took a few bites before it stabilized.

After exhaling a long breath, Changsun Wuji asked, "What happened outside?"

The old servant said: "I don't know for the time being, there must be some unexpected situation, so the soldiers came to report, Yu Wenjie is sleeping outside, he will take care of it, the owner doesn't have to worry."

Changsun Wuji sighed: Don't worry?What I am most worried about is the unexpected situation...

Now that the peace talks are progressing smoothly, Fang Jun's stick has not launched a surprise attack on the Guanlong army recently, and it seems that he has approved the peace talks.Although Li Ji, who was stationed in Tongguan, did not allow the private army of powerful clans in the pass to withdraw, he did not take any other actions, as if he also took a default attitude towards the current balance.

But all this is highly unusual.

Li Ji returned to Chang'an with hundreds of thousands of troops, and walked for more than half a year. Although the situation in Chang'an was turbulent, he never showed his stance. Now he is guarding Tongguan, and the army is eyeing him, just to watch the fierce battle between Guanlong and Donggong at close range. , and then the two sides shook hands and made peace?
Interests, everyone's actions must be attributed to interests, but what interests is Li Ji pursuing?
What's more, the destruction of the private army of the Yang family in Luoyang stationed in Yulu made Changsun Wuji deeply feel that this was no accident, and someone must have wanted to attack these powerful private troops.The murderer is still unknown, it may be Fang Jun, it may be Li Ji, or it may even be those Guanlong allies who seem to be in harmony with each other and have small calculations...

The current situation is full of fog, completely deviated from Changsun Wuji's original assumptions, even though he claims to be a master of strategy, he still feels helpless and bewildered.

When Changsun Wuji took another sip of warm water, there was another knock on the door, and Yu Wenjie said outside the door: "Duke, I have something important to do in my humble position."

Changsun Wuji put down his water glass and said in a deep voice, "Come in and talk."

Yu Wenjie came in from the outside, wearing only a moon-white tunic, obviously came here in a hurry after getting the news, without even having time to change his clothes, which made Changsun Wuji's heart skip a beat.

Sure enough, Yu Wenjie's face was serious, and he said in a solemn voice: "Just now the Du family sent someone to send the battle report. The [-] private troops stationed by Webster on the west bank of the Chan River were slaughtered in the middle of the night. More than [-]% of them were killed and [-]% were seriously injured. , There are countless people who have fled and disappeared. Webster's private army... has been wiped out."

The voice fell, and the room was silent.

Both Yu Wenjie and the old servant held back their breaths, bowed their bodies and lowered their heads, waiting for Changsun Wuji's instructions, or furiously, or issuing orders... But after a long while, there was no life at all.

The two of them jumped in their hearts, probably... they hurriedly looked up at the same time, and saw Changsun Wuji looking at the dark night outside the window, with one hand on the water glass subconsciously, and then he was relieved and let out a breath.

If something happens to the leader of Guanlong at this moment, the situation will collapse immediately, and the dragons in Guanlong will be leaderless and torn apart, and what awaits everyone will be a situation that will never be restored.

Changsun Wuji pondered for a long time, then suddenly murmured: "It's not right..."

Then he withdrew his eyes from the darkness outside the window, looked at Yu Wenjie and asked, "Tell me, who is this murderer?"

Yu Wenjie said: "Whether it is the Yang family in Luoyang, the Wei family in Jingzhao, or even the Du family's private army who is watching across the river, they can't distinguish the murderer from the military appearance, equipment, and appearance, so there is no empirical evidence, so we can't be hasty. But the left and right are nothing more than Ying Gong or Fang Jun, only these two have the ability to do this. It is a pity that they come and go like the wind, and there is no way to track them. Otherwise, we only need to follow them from a distance to observe what happened after they escaped into Zhongnan Mountain. Go east or west, and you will know whose subordinate it is."

Although these powerful and private armies lacked training and their weapons were not sophisticated enough, they were mobs, but after all, they were numerous and mighty, and it would be difficult to defeat them in one blow, or even destroy them in one fell swoop.

So there is no difference between what he said and not telling the truth. Everyone knows that the murderer can only be one of these two, but if he guesses wrong, the consequences will be very different.

Without real evidence, who dares to make a rash decision?
Changsun Wuji shook his head, and said, "Don't focus on who is killing the powerful and private army. The second is to go deeper and think about the murderer's purpose."

Yuwen Festival was stunned. Isn't the purpose of making these clans outside of Guanlong hate the Guanlong families deeply, thus cutting off the cooperation and connection between Guanlong and the clans outside of Guanlong, completely isolating Guanlong in the future court, and then carrying out fierce Is it suppressed?

This was the reason why Guan Long agreed unanimously, but when Changsun Wuji asked at this moment, it was obviously not such an answer...

Seemingly not expecting Yuwen Festival to provide an answer, Changsun Wuji said to himself: "Perhaps it is a strategy of killing two birds with one stone?"

His gray eyebrows were tightly locked, and his complexion became more and more dignified.

Yu Wenjie was puzzled, and cautiously asked: "Two eagles with one stone...then what is the other eagle?"

Annihilate those private armies who were coerced and lured by Guan Long to come to Guanzhong, cut off their foundations, make them have deep resentment towards Guan Long, and form a deep hatred, so that they can isolate Guan Long in the future and drive Guan Long out of the court completely Suppress it, it's a vulture.

But other than that, Yu Wenjie couldn't think of any reason to wipe out these powerful and private armies...

Changsun Wuji put down the water glass in his hand and got off the bed. The old servant hurriedly stepped forward to help him. Changsun Wuji pushed the old servant away, dragged his shoes and dragged his injured leg to the window, and looked at the dark night with his hands behind his back , slowly said: "Based on your knowledge, can you tell what your Majesty thinks about Guan Long and the powerful people in the world?"

Yu Wenjie didn't expect the topic to change so far suddenly, but he had thought about this question a long time ago, pondered for a while, and said: "For Guanlong, His Majesty relied on fighting for the world in the past, and now it is urgent to strengthen the imperial power. If you are a powerful person, you wish you could settle down and then go fast."

A family's hundreds of years of inheritance can achieve "Valley". With strong strength and extensive connections, each family can dominate one side.When the world is in turmoil, clans build high walls, collect food, and form a whole of their own. Once they get the approval of these clans, each family has money to contribute money, someone to provide people, and food to provide food, it will instantly condense into a powerful force. Incomparable power, using it to fight for hegemony in the world, can get twice the result with half the effort.

In the troubled times, the clans preserved the inheritance of culture and the vitality of the place, and made great contributions in the process of calming down the world and returning to unity. This is the positive influence of the clans.

But at the same time, the clans only value their own interests, and don't have much "family and country feelings". Not to mention they don't care who is the emperor. For the sake of profit and inheritance, even if they commit themselves to foreign countries, they will not hesitate at all.

And because of the "selfishness" of the clan, every time they choose the Ming Lord to pacify the world, they will naturally need to grab enough benefits in return, occupying the interests of the court, seizing the power of the king, monopolizing educational resources, and suppressing poor scholars...
